It seems as if Spring has finally arrived here in the mountains of my home. Today my heart and soul were filled full to overflowing with the countless blessings that come along with Springtime here. There was the glorious singing of the birds this morning that greeted both the new day and my soul with its joy. There was the beautifully enchanting song of the frogs this evening as I walked with my boys around the lake near my home. There was the spectacular sparkling of the sun off the lake water that seemed like a thousand angels dancing in delight.

There was the tranquil peace of seeing a family of ducks making their home on the water. The two most special blessings of this day however, were the sight of smiling volunteers cleaning up the trash along the highway and the sight of the first flowers of Spring blooming along the walkway around the lake. What made these blessings so special was that they came not only from God, but from human hearts as well.
